Weigh Safe Trailer Hitch Review and Application

[@jamesredemers83]

It was where it was rubbing against the other components in the Box

[@Volsman5150]

Just to let you know, I have the same WeighSafe hitch and You Can turn it around and store it without taking it off. I have mine like that now. So you were incorrect in telling people in your video that it can’t be done. Otherwise, good video and an awesome tow hitch!!

[@1aday2008]

Thanks for the feedback. Mine doesn't but I understand the next version does now.

They make something called a tri-pod. You should try it sometime! Ha ha! Sorry to make fun. I've definitely been there. I've found that a good tripod really helps when filming solo. Great review video. Thanks for sharing.

That have the same thing at HOME DEPOT and it comes with 2 keys and a locking hitch pin with key they both use 1 key for the receiver and for the locking hitch pin

[@christopherrempel4732]

It’s not defective you need to use the Allen to adjust it.

IM TRYING TO GET ONE FOR A DUMP TRUCK I DRIVE TO PULL A BOBCAT SKID-STEER AND OR A BOBCAT EXCAVATOR AN E55 will THIS Be WEIGH SAFE BE GOOD??

[@1aday2008]

It will work for you. You do need to know the weight of your load so you can do the 60/40 ratio normally suggested. Most trailer axles are set back to acheive this if evenly loaded...at least my dump trailer is. I consider it just a confirmation of my loading.

[@iliketowatchthis]

So I just bought the 2” version and when I stand on the ball, no weight registers. I weigh about 200 lbs. how much weight does it take to resister weight on this thing?

[@JEEPIMPACT]

Put a trailer on it and find out

[@weighsafe]

Lighter loads will take a couple minutes to register versus heavier loads will read a lot quicker. We recommend hooking up a loaded trailer and making sure the gauge registers the weight. Please feel free to reach out to us at [e-mail] if you have any other questions!

[@1aday2008]

It is inconsistent with light loads. As mine measures weight without anything on it. So I always deduct that weight from the total. In your case I would load up known weight to see What it ends up measuring. The device should have a calibration ability but doesn't. If its not registering with 200 on the tongue its no good if you have a 2000 lb trailer and can't tell if 10% is on the hitch.

You must have a older model because you can turn it around for storage.

[@1aday2008]

I wouldn't be surprised considering the item was bought as new and received a used one.

[@78ginop]

@@1aday2008 seen a video done by weight safe right before watching yours and they turned it around

[@adrianemeeus1056]

@@1aday2008 etrailer shows you can turn it around, it just has to be upside down.

[@christopher4091]

No, it doesn’t work with the 3” shaft, only the smaller models.

[@armondobbabone8556]

Invest in a tripod...

[@1aday2008]

Didn't have one at the time. Impromptu video while waiting for the kiddo

[@MajTom-wd2yt]

REVIEW?...NO towing, no sway control or weight distribution evaluation or scale accuracy?....I guess it looks good though.😂

[@jasonbeaulieu4979]

the weight safe built in scale is a great idea, but a horrible piece of junk

[@1aday2008]

Yeah. After having it for a while, I have to agree with that. I do like the ability to easily change ball sizes though.
